I still don't know of a solution that can accept USB audio from a music server and send that on to a PC for DSP or convert it into Ravenna.

 

using a Raspberry Pi 4 as a USB DSP-DAC

I guess that might be the closest thing out there?

 

As always the detection of changing sampling rates could be tricky.

 

There's yet another example that looked like this

Someone was trying to work on a new version but that didn't go anywhere since 2017

I'm also working an article using HQPlayer embedded to receive UPnP audio from other music servers and output that to an audio device. This could even be direct from a NAS or from one of the many great music servers that outputs UPnP/DLNA.

 

That's awesome, I'm looking forward to that article because someone else reported that streaming from JRMC to HQPlayer Embedded via UPnP turned out to sound pretty darn good

Rooted Android devices with an app called AirMusic could stream Apple Music to HQPlayer Embedded via UPnP, I guess that's a fairly decent solution when compared to other alternatives.
